19 weeks, 3 days

Not too much to report since the last post. Everything seems to be going very well. The baby is kicking me ALL the time now!

We just hired a doula today. For those of you who don't know, a birth doula helps during labor. Our current plan is to try to go as naturally as possible and having her should help quite a bit! Her name is Shirley and we met her through a friend at church. She is a Christian, which makes a big difference. We are both excited about having her help us with the preparation for the baby as well as the labor and delivery.

That's all until next week....when find out if its a girl or boy! :)

oooo, yay for a doula. i went natural. i recommend it... or at least giving it a try (unless you have to be induced... i hear that's way way way more intense)

Yeah...we would like to avoid the induction thing...if we end up being induced, all bets are off :)

WOW, I think you're crazy!!! But more power to ya! After 3 days of contractions that were 5 min apart, and being jacked up on potosin...I was very ready for just about anything they'd give me!!! ;)
